Mario Lopez Strips Down for New Underwear Line, RatedM

Mario Lopez (Courtesy of WWD) Now there's a good excuse to see Mario Lopez in his underwear: The actor and Extra host is stepping into the apparel business with an underwear line called RatedM.

“I’d always wanted to get into the apparel and fitness world, and I thought, ‘Why don’t I just start my own?’” said Lopez.

The Latin star teamed up with Mike Tawil, one of the founders of 2(x)ist, a popular men's underwear line. “It made sense to launch this with Mario,” said Tawil. “He’s a hard worker who cares about his body and how he looks. When we met him we could see why people love him.”

Mario Lopez (Courtesy of AceShowBiz) RatedM consists of three collections: Elementary for basic foundation pieces, Atelier for dressier designs, and Play, a series of athletic underwear. The entire line will comprise of briefs, trunks, tees, tanks, knickers, singlets, and long johns. “It’s smart, sexy and masculine,” said Lopez. “We like to say it goes from the boardroom to the bedroom and everywhere in between.”

RatedM launched on e-commerce site Freshpair.com last week and is set for release in select Bloomingdale’s stores in February.
